The following risk factor supplements the “Risk Factors” section in our 2019 Form 10-K.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a material and adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the further impact will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the economic implications of the same, and the actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The novel COVID-19 pandemic has substantially and negatively impacted the United States economy, disrupted global supply chains, considerably lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility and disruption in financial markets, and materially increased unemployment levels. In addition, the pandemic has resulted in temporary closures of countless businesses and the institution of social distancing and sheltering in place requirements in most states and communities. As a result, the demand for our products and services has been and likely will continue to be significantly adversely impacted, which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the pandemic could result in the recognition of amplified credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for loan losses, particularly if businesses remain closed and our customers draw on their lines of credit. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions, we may be required to recognize impairments on goodwill or the securities we hold. Our business operations may also be further disrupted if significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of challenges arising as a result of circumstances related to working from home, illness, quarantines, government actions, or other restrictions in connection with the pandemic, and we have already temporarily closed certain of our branches. In response to the pandemic, we have also suspended residential property foreclosure sales, evictions, and involuntary automobile repossessions, and are offering payment deferrals and other expanded assistance for credit card, mortgage and small business lending customers, and future governmental actions may require these and other types of customer-related responses. In addition, we may take capital actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the economic implications of the same and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

News Release
HOPE BANCORP REPORTS 2020 FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
LOS ANGELES - April 28, 2020 - Hope Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: HOPE), the holding company of Bank of Hope (the “Bank”), today reported unaudited financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2020.
For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net income totaled $26.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted common share, reflecting the Company’s implementation of the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) methodology, which incorporates a significant deterioration in the future economic outlook due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This led to a quarterly provision for credit losses of $28.0 million. This compares with net income of $43.0 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, in the 2019 fourth quarter and $42.8 million, or $0.34 per diluted common share, in the 2019 first quarter. The provision for credit losses, under the former incurred loss methodology, amounted to $1.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, for the comparable 2019 fourth quarter and 2019 first quarter.
“Overall, our 2020 first quarter results reflect a solid quarter of operational performance marked by continued progress with strategic initiatives designed to strengthen our organization from an enterprise risk management perspective,” said Kevin S. Kim, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hope Bancorp, Inc. “We continued to see a positive shift in our deposit mix favoring lower cost core deposits, which contributed to a 15 basis point reduction in our total cost of deposits. This led to a 15 basis point expansion of our net interest margin as reported and an 8 basis point expansion on a core basis, excluding purchase accounting accretion. New loan origination volumes were robust for the seasonally slower first quarter totaling $625 million and representing a well diversified mix of commercial real estate, commercial and consumer loans. This led to a 10% increase in our loans receivable quarter-over-quarter on an annualized basis.
“The COVID-19 crisis has created an extremely challenging business environment with unprecedented levels of uncertainties as to the magnitude and duration of the pandemic, as well as the depth to which this will push our economy into a recession. However, we entered the pandemic crisis with very strong capital, robust liquidity, and excellent credit quality, which supports our confidence in our ability to navigate the difficult landscape. Our hearts go out to all who have been impacted by COVID-19. All of us at Bank of Hope stand united and committed to do all that we can to support our customers, our communities and our nation as we work tirelessly to get through this together.”
Q1 2020 Highlights
• | Pre-tax, pre-provision income increased 8% quarter-over quarter. |
• | Strong new loan originations of $625 million led to a 2.5% increase in loans receivable quarter-over-quarter, or 10% annualized. |
• | Total deposits increased 2.5% quarter-over-quarter, or 10% annualized. |
• | Continuation of favorable mix-shift to lower cost core deposits contributed to a 15 basis point reduction quarter-over-quarter in total deposit costs. |
• | NIM expansion of 15 basis points on a reported basis and 8 basis points on a core basis, excluding purchase accounting accretion. |
• | Total noninterest expenses well contained and remain at 1.87% of average assets. |
• | Allowance for credit losses increased substantially from 0.77% of loans receivable at December 31, 2019 to 1.15% at March 31, 2020, reflecting the implementation of the CECL standards and COVID-19 related uncertainties. |

Operating Results for the 2020 First Quarter
Net interest income before provision for credit losses for the 2020 first quarter totaled $119.3 million, compared with $113.5 million in the 2019 fourth quarter and $119.6 million in the year-ago first quarter. A large payoff of an acquired loan contributed $5.6 million in purchase accounting discount accretion.
The net interest margin for the 2020 first quarter increased 15 basis points to 3.31% from 3.16% in the 2019 fourth quarter. The increase in reported net interest margin was largely due to the above mentioned acquired loan payoff which benefited the 2020 first quarter net interest margin. On a core basis, net interest margin excluding the impact of acquisition accounting adjustments increased 8 basis points for the 2020 first quarter compared to the 2019 fourth quarter due to a reduction in deposits costs.
The weighted average yield on loans for the 2020 first quarter was 5.06%, compared with 5.04% in the preceding fourth quarter and 5.31% in the year-ago first quarter.

3-3-3 NASDAQ: HOPE
The Company continued to see benefits from a positive shift in the mix of deposits favoring lower-cost money market and other deposits. This contributed to a quarter-over-quarter 15 basis point decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits, which was 1.34% for the 2020 first quarter, compared with 1.49% for the 2019 fourth quarter. In the year-ago first quarter, total cost of deposits was 1.57%.
Noninterest income totaled $13.3 million for the 2020 first quarter, compared with $13.0 million for the preceding fourth quarter and $11.4 million for the 2019 first quarter. Aside from normal fluctuations in noninterest income categories, the variance reflects the net gains on sales of other loans, representing the sale of residential mortgage loans, which amounted to $1.9 million, $1.9 million and $741,000 for the 2020 first quarter, 2019 fourth quarter and 2019 first quarter, respectively.
Noninterest expense was fairly stable at $72.1 million for the 2020 first quarter, compared with $70.4 million for the preceding fourth quarter and $70.8 million for the year-ago first quarter. Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets amounted to 1.87% for the 2020 first quarter, compared with 1.85% for the 2019 fourth quarter and 2019 first quarter.
The quarter-over-quarter increase in noninterest expense for the 2020 first quarter reflects an increase in compensation expense, normalization of the Company’s FDIC assessment expense and higher OREO expenses. This increase was partially offset by decreases in professional fees and advertising and marketing expenses.
Salaries and employee benefits expense increased to $42.5 million for the 2020 first quarter from $39.8 million for the 2019 fourth quarter, largely reflecting payroll taxes and higher seasonal expenses related to the Company’s 401(k) program. In the 2019 first quarter, salaries and employee benefits expense totaled $40.4 million.
The effective tax rate for the 2020 first quarter was 19.9%, reflecting a significant reduction in the projected pre-tax book income for 2020. The effective tax rate for the preceding 2019 fourth quarter was 21.9% and 25.2% in the 2019 first quarter.
Balance Sheet Summary
New loan originations funded during the 2020 first quarter totaled $624.5 million and included SBA loan production of $49.8 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $37.4 million. This compares with 2019 fourth quarter originations of $847.6 million, including SBA loan production of $61.8 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $64.2 million. In the year-ago first quarter, new loan originations funded totaled $442.0 million, including SBA loan production of $48.0 million and residential mortgage loan originations of $64.3 million.
SBA 7(a) loan originations totaled $21.7 million for the 2020 first quarter, compared with $46.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $33.0 million for the year-ago first quarter. There have been no sales of SBA 7(a) loans to the secondary market since the Company’s decision to retain such loans in its portfolio during the 2018 fourth quarter.
At March 31, 2020, loans receivable increased 2.5% to $12.58 billion from $12.28 billion at December 31, 2019 and increased 4.4% from $12.05 billion at March 31, 2019.
Total deposits at March 31, 2020 increased 2.5% to $12.84 billion from $12.53 billion at December 31, 2019 and increased 4.8% from $12.25 billion at March 31, 2019, continuing a year-long positive shift in the mix of deposits favoring core money market and other deposits and decreases in higher-cost time deposits.

Reflecting the continued favorable mix-shift in deposits, total cost of deposits decreased 15 basis points to 1.34% from 1.49% for the 2019 fourth quarter and decreased 23 basis points from 1.57% for the 2019 first quarter.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The 2020 first quarter provision for credit losses under the CECL methodology was $28.0 million. This compares with a provision for loan losses under the prior incurred loss methodology of $1.0 million for the 2019 fourth quarter and $3.0 million for the year-ago first quarter.
The Company adopted the new CECL accounting standard effective as of January 1, 2020 and recognized a Day 1 adjustment of its Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) of $26.2 million.

The ACL as of March 31, 2020 totaled $144.9 million, compared with $94.1 million at December 31, 2019 and $94.2 million at March 31, 2019. As a percentage of loans receivable (excluding loans held for sale), the ACL was 1.15%, 0.77% and 0.78% at March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The coverage ratio of the ACL to nonperforming loans was 121.90% at March 31, 2020, 96.03% at December 31, 2019 and 71.25% at March 31, 2019.
